I purchased Vaginal cream applicators from Amazon. 15 in a bag singly wrapped.Just plunge the applicator into the coconut oil,, it is forced up into the applicator. May have to put the oil in the refrigerator for about 20 min. I use about 11/2 in. And plunge into vagina as far as possible. I wear a pad for about 1/2 to 1 hr. Most vaginal creams can be ridiculously expensive if you use often enough.
